The way I read that, is you are allowed to have a side less than 8" as long as the entire side is covered by a bumper. I could be wrong about the way I am reading that part of R19.
A side with a gap in the middle isn't considered 2 sides. It's one side and the gap can't be more than 8 inches from a corner on either side.
